FIBA ASIA Cup Qualifiers

[noyce]

Coz it fits a narrative. They have a deceivingly low ranking as of now..."your mighty team just lost to number 179"...is a good soundbyte. Without critical thinking and context of Taiwan's quality that last game...Taiwan had a formidable (unscouted) center, basically 2 NPs and the thing that isn't talked about, a potentially elite coach. Their coach had a great game plan (including the cash bonus). They are not ignorant when it comes to basketball, for their population they are doing a great job. And things like having a team B with young guys is an example of their strategic thinking.

Homer Sayson narrative haha. but Taiwan good this game, fun to watch basketball-wise, also agree their coach is elite.

pressing issue of Gilas for me is the Cone decision of a 6-man rotation, non-trust to Tamayo and KQ, and over-reliance on Brownlee. why is there no development perspective?? if Gilas won, none of these issues are amplified even though they are already glaring.

Having 2 aussies as the referees is crazy.

[empyreanmaze]

ang kalat ni iskati, has not made a proper pass yet and is not a scoring threat

[reamily]

That isnt a nice pass dr j..

[ja.he]

Only Brownlee and Dwight are the offensive threats in our team.

I don't understand why they are crucifying Gilas in their loss against Taipei as if Taipei is within Indonesia's level. The professionalization of basketball in Taipei really plays a huge part on rebuilding their national team.

Because everyone is looking forward to our match with NZ already and we are supposed to win over them with or without Kai. We also have one of our better lineup in years and everyone is expecting a lot especially since Cone has his favorite players including some Ginebra players. Also everyone is expected them to have scouted Taiwan. Everyone knew they've improved but nobody expected our side to regress this much. I mean based on our previous games not including those awful non bearing Doha games everyone felt that we've made major leaps. Sure we didn't win every game but the team was competing until the last minute. This team just feels different

[empyreanmaze]

nah these refs are suspicious what are these calls

[ja.he]

Are they running triangle? Dumb decision to do that right now without Kai.

[sroth3839]

As expected

Pack it up. This team doesn’t have it tonight.
